Erupting Prominence and CME
An erupting prominence associated with a coronal mass ejection blasted into space over a one-day period (Nov. 18-19, 2012) as seen in the LASCO C3 instrument from SOHO. The eruption displayed the bulbous shape typical of many CMEs, with each 'foot' of the expanding structure anchored in magnetic fields of opposite polarity on the Sun's surface.
